AI for ASIC Design Verification

What it does

Bronco is an applied AI lab helping chipmakers keep Moore’s law going. Our mission is to build AI silicon verification engineers that find bugs, drive functional coverage, and help companies ship working chips on time. We're currently deployed alongside verification teams at leading chip companies building next generation hardware (4 nm process node). We are well-funded and backed by tier-1 investors, including YC, 8VC, Elad Gil, SV Angel, and Contrary Capital. We have also established strong relationships with the leading academic and industry researchers in the field of AI for chip design. Our advisors have won multiple Best Paper Awards at leading conferences, been cited tens of thousands of times, and received some of the highest honors in the microelectronics and EDA industries.
